The last of us games, pretty generic trope filled badly paced story. And just super meh gameplay that feels like you are walking through molasses.

I finally started playing the first game on PC a few days ago... It's not great. Story is whatever I dont really care. The actual gameplay itself is just...not fun? Clunky and imprecise.

I had the same problem with red dead 2. I don't have the attention span to care about the characters or the story so I need solid gameplay to keep me hooked and it just wasn't satisfying to play for the most part. Felt like I was suggesting movement controls rather than actually controlling my character. The guns all felt meh. It's got some fun mechanics, but the bounty system was horrendous and the survival aspect is non-existent.

I have goopy goblin gamer brain as some call it. I need the gameplay to be excellent as I do not care about graphics or story. So many games have amazing graphics and legendary stories but the gameplay itself just isn't fun enough for me to finish it.

K-pop, Anime & Manga, Harry Potter (fuck JKR!), gyms, Yoga & Pilates, fashion, make up, nail polish and probably a hundred things more...

I think HP and Kpop are both quite overrated.

Anime and Manga are just media, so there are good and bad series, like anything else. It's not worth obsessing over, or writing it off. But there are definitely shows that are worthy of some amount of hype.

Gyms are a good place to have access to various machines and weights for strength training (which is super important!) It has advantages and disadvantages compared to something like calisthenics. Yoga is a great way of moving and stretching the body, which is big for flexibility and general mobility. Especially combined with some form of strength training, it will have a huge impact on how your body feels.

Fashion, makeup, and nail polish are all about self expression. Fast fashion is bad, but fashion can mean just putting together a good outfit. It's worth it to put a bit of effort into what you wear, and making your clothes into something that reflects you. Makeup also has a positive and negative side. On one hand, a lot of people use it (often heavily) to cover up their percoeved flaws and 'fix' their appearance. I think that's unhealthy and a bit sad. But makeup is also an an art form; it turns your face into a canvas. Think winged eyeliner, glitter, colored eyeshadow or lipstick, etc. This includes nail polish. It's an expression of creativity, an you get to look nice at the end! Even if it's something you aren't personally interested in, (or if you are discouraged from self ornamentation due to gender expectations) It should be clear why people enjoy these things.

Hyper space. Just no. Existence is chaotic enough without adding uppers into the mix.
